Together, We Continue Supporting Families
Dear Friends,
Thank you for being part of our community. Over the past three months, our project «Lots of Socks» #68648 on GlobalGiving has received only a few small donations. While this may not seem like much for a large organization, every contribution reminds us that people around the world believe in children with Down syndrome and their families.
Despite all the challenges, our work continues every day.
Early Intervention Program
During this period, 50 families received support, and our specialists provided 125 consultations. For many parents, these consultations offered their first guidance after their child's diagnosis and gave them the confidence to take the first steps forward.
Youth Club
Our participants continued developing essential life skills. We held 16 themed sessions for two groups, focusing on financial literacy and learning about different countries and cultures.
In May, we met in person to celebrate Friendship Day, visited Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, and thanks to our generous supporters, 40 Youth Club members from across Ukraine received special gifts.
Parents Club
We held a meeting focused on employment opportunities for mothers raising children with disabilities and continued supporting our parent community through online meetings, surveys, and webinars.
We also began a partnership with a Ukrainian library in Hong Kong. After the summer holidays, we look forward to resuming our interactive reading sessions for children.
Every consultation, every workshop, and every community meeting has been made possible thanks to people who support our organization.
Your next $20 donation can provide a professional consultation for a family that has just learned their child has Down syndrome, offering guidance and support during one of the most difficult moments of their lives.
A $100 donation can help fund a Youth Club group session, where young people with Down syndrome develop communication skills, build independence, and gain self-confidence.
If you are able to make a donation or simply share our project with your friends, you will help even more children, young people, and their families receive the support they need when they need it most.
Thank you for standing with us. Together, we are creating more opportunities for people with Down syndrome in Ukraine.
